#31: Just Plotting My Comeback
Mary Baxter, AKA "Isis tha Savior" is fighting against youth homelessness and pushing for protections for incarcerated women -- two subjects she's intimately familiar with. Mary's first bout with homelessness came at age 11. She gave birth to her son while shackled to her hospital bed, and then did seven months in prison before she could spend time with him again. Now she's giving talks at places like Harvard University and Capitol Hill, and joined forces with Senators to push for national legislation to help women be able to serve time without losing dignity. Holli Stephens and Antionette Lee filmed a documentary about Mary for KYW Newsradio, and they brought her story to Scroll Down.
